In Brief, And TO The Point.


Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disor-
dered liver is misery. Indigestion
is a foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus
is one of the most complicated
and wonderful things in existence.
1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry,
late hours, irregular habits, and
many other things which ought
not to be, have made the Ameri-
can people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reform
ing this sad business and making
the American people so healthy
that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember:-NO happiness with.
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happi'
ness to the dyspeptic. Ask youl
druggist for bottle, rs cents

Bad for Heart Disease.

An aged lady tottered from an elevator
car of high building on Penn avenue one
afternoon recently and grasped door near
by for support. She was ashy pale, and
gasped for breath.
"If / live through this will never put
my foot inside an elevator again" she
walled, when at length she had become
somewhat composed. ''That fellow
dropped me from the fourth floor like a
rocket, and declare can't get my breath
again. am troubled with heart disease,
anu my physician has warned me against
these elevators. / really believe my dis
ODE elience has almost cost me my life.
And, indeed, rs she walked unsteadily
away, it occurred to the reporter that her
alarm was not wholly uncalled for.
1T is very dangerous for persons affect
ed with heart palpitation to descend rap
idly in an elevator said well known
physician who was interrogated on the
subject. 81 have had patients of that
kind under my care who have been set
back months, when their cases were inn
proving very satisfactorily, by that very
thing. There should be some restriction

allowed to descend. ''-Pittsburg Dis

Of the Potomac. Mrs. Adams was the
first presidents wife to occupy the execu-

she received with her husband the OH
cials of the government and society of the
infant capital. The residence of Mrs.
Adams at the executive mansion was but
brief. Her husbands first election was
by bare majority, and his defeat for re-
election limited his residence at Washing
ton to four months. In that time, how
ever. Mrs. Adams left the impress of her
strong individuality upon the social insti-
tutions Of the capital and upon the do
mestic surroundings of the presidential
Office to a greater degree than did the
president upon the official surroundings
of the Office. Mrs. Adams inaugurated
the social customs established by Mrs.
Washington in New York and continued
in Philadelphia, and which have been
practically adhered to ever since. Among
the ladies of the executive mansion Mrs.
